Lascahobas
Lascahobas (French pronunciation: [laskaɔbas]; Haitian Creole: Laskawobas; Spanish: Las Caobas) is a commune located in the Centre department of Haiti, roughly one hour east of Mirebalais, 10 minutes south of Lac de Peligre, and one hour west of the border with the Dominican Republic.[citation needed]
The population is about 45,873 people, as of 2015.
Lascahobas is the market town of a rural, agricultural area. Outlying villages in the area include Cohoroes, Rantamoulie, LaHoye, and Pouly (also spelled Poulie or Poule), Flande, and Pareidon. The city and villages surrounding it have been the focus of missionary work by the Episcopal Church in the early 21st Century.
It was founded as Las Caobas by Spanish colonists in 1763.
Primarily agricultural, with a bustling local market and a large Roman Catholic church, the city sits on the significant Lascahobas River.
The wealthiest business in town are agriculture development and farming.
Lascahobas has an Episcopal church, St. Esprit (Holy Spirit), which also has a school. As of early 2013, the Rector of the Church of the Holy Spirit was The Rev. Jean Milor Medela; Fr. Medela also serves as priest at the Church of the Ascension in Poulie. As of October 2016[update] they were replaced by Fr. Jean Jacques Deravil.
The 2010 Haiti earthquake damaged some parts of Lascahobas, but didn't affect the ongoing installment of solar panels for electricity. In 2011, volunteers from the United States installed solar panels to allow for Internet connections. Installation was completed in early 2013.
